@@AngeloGiles I'll go one better - I actually wrote the first comment BEFORE I installed the lights in my RAV. The new lights arrived in the late afternoon, I had enough light so I re-watched the video, went out and in about five mins installed the LEDs - it would have been shorter than 5 mins but you were right, the light on the right was harder to deal with; not impossible, just in an awkward position relative to the other pieces of equipment that was there, so I had to move around a bit, scratched myself up some, which was in total contrast to the light on the left which took a little over a min to remove and install the new bulb (the hardest part of this was getting the old bulb out of the electrical outlet it sits in.) Bottom line, this video made it happen for me, reduced the cost of this from what I'm sure would be close to $100 if I had taken it in somewhere to simply the cost of the new bulbs, which was around $38. Thanks!
Thanks for the recommended kit, Fahren LED lighting kit, very bright wide on low beam and far distance on high beam. As a woman, I feel safe when I travel at night. Love it!💕
As a car guy and a coaster enthusiast, I’m glad you’re getting into changing your car, it’s a fun hobby and really kept me busy over quarantine since I couldn’t ride coasters
Correct, if it was a newer model, maybe not because they have gotten significantly bright over the years, but these would still be brighter than the xle.
Thanks for the video - This is the one I was looking for. Any reason why you recommended 'Cooler Tone LED Headlights' than the one used in the video. Some of reviews for 'Cooler Tone LED Headlights' mention that 1) They get yelled by the cops as these LED lights are not Department of Transportation (DOT) approved for use as a headlight. 2) Fahren Customer Service Centre does not recommend usage of these lights for daytime running lights and that it will injure the system and the bulbs. Looking for reasons on why you recommended Cooler Tone.
Glad you enjoyed the video, the main reason I said for people to try out the cooler tone one's are because they're more of a white blue crystal, rather than the bright white, basically depends on your preference of how you'd want your headlights to light up the road.
Color of the light does not relate to lumens. Lumens relate to brightness and illumination distance. A lot of the LED makers state not to pull those baby blue tags for warranty reasons.
@@SeanPopify They're still going strong, no flickering, doesn't seem like they over heat, and I've had high beams on a lot at night, but you don't even need them tbh, they're really bright, and it's an even light pattern
Good video! Can u do one with the 24 led license plate lights I I believe they are From ijdm toy l. They are not bulbs but rather the full led unit with 24 leds each side.
@@jonathansevert8400 Nope, no flickering, water damage, cable breaking, everything was legit perfect, I was honestly surprised too, because you know how some companies can be, but they lasted almost the whole time, one bulb went out right before I was gonna replace them, but that's because I was doing a lot of night driving.
Hey man, I actually really enjoyed the video and I use the exact same bulbs and yes they are incredible. However, I am now noticing moisture on the inside of the headlight housing? Are you having the same issue? Should I swap over the O ring seals from the OEM bulbs?
@@MrShlee1 Haha, they're very expensive, the one's in this video were probably some of the best one's for the price. If you really wanna know the name, they're called GTR Uktra 2 by Headlight Revolution.
Hi man. Did you notice a problem regarding fuel consumption? I mean if by installing this kit your rav4 has considerably increased gas consumption even with the lights off. I installed a philips kit in my rav4 2018, I don't know what that kit has to do with it but I have a very noticeable gasoline consumption, do you have any idea why this happens?
Um, I drive pretty fast, but I normally don't keep my daytime running lights on, but I'd say my gad mileage is better because of the air filter I have, which is a K&N. But as far the lights, I can't say I've seen a noticeable difference in gasoline consumption using the LED one's.
@@AngeloGiles LED's use significant LESS energy than halogen or other lights, so I would think that even with the increased light intensity that the LED bulbs would either be the same in consumption or lower.
They worked for a long time, I ended up upgrading to some even brighter one's a couple months ago, buy they lasted all the way up until I just bought the new ones
@@AngeloGiles wow dude you're on top of your game that was a quick and very much appreciated reply. thanks Angelo i liked the video when i watch it and now i'm subscribing thanks again
@@AngeloGiles what did you upgrade to? We need to replace ours right now. I did see in the video it looked like you lost some distance/spread with the LED. Any issues when driving?
Simple instructions, took his time, was clear - Outstanding, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!

Simple and easy to follow. Thanks bro!👊
No problem, glad it was helpful.

Oh yeah, I figured I mine as well show y'all a video for it, as it could be useful to at least one person in the world.
@@AngeloGiles yeah it definitely helps, youtube taught me everything I know about cars, so starting this as a series could help a lot of people
Thank you! Just got done replacing my lights. Thank you for the details on getting the clamp part off!
You're welcome.
I have a 2018 Toyota rav4 xle and just got the zxe would led b even brighter than the 1s now
Correct, if it was a newer model, maybe not because they have gotten significantly bright over the years, but these would still be brighter than the xle.
My Bro Angelo with another dope video!!!
Hi bro so no need to install the HID ballasts? It’s just plug and play?
Good and clear tutorial. thank you.

Please share the make/model of the newest ones you got when you have a moment. Thanks!
Nice thanks
Super helpful, thanks!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Updated Amazon links please??
Thank you 😊
Damn, its me I am back again!!! This time looking for a replacement.
That’s all I need? Just those bulbs or do I need any specific wiring done before hand?
Nope, basically plug and play.
Can you do a video for a sequential turning light signals on the 2018 rav4? Thanks!
Please update! Thank you
Do the Day Time Running Lights still work ?
Yes.
Color of the light does not relate to lumens. Lumens relate to brightness and illumination distance.
A lot of the LED makers state not to pull those baby blue tags for warranty reasons.
Ohhh okay lol.
@@AngeloGiles Angelo, how have they held up over the 7-8 months?
@@SeanPopify They're still going strong, no flickering, doesn't seem like they over heat, and I've had high beams on a lot at night, but you don't even need them tbh, they're really bright, and it's an even light pattern
@@AngeloGiles What about the DRL? Doesn't the DRL run off the headlights? (My kids have 2015 & 2018 Rav4s, I might be confused.)
Yes, they do, but they're not gonna be as bright as the actual headlight setting, but they're still gonna run off the same light bulb
Good video! Can u do one with the 24 led license plate lights I
I believe they are From ijdm toy l. They are not bulbs but rather the full led unit with 24 leds each side.
Thanks, and I'll have to see, I know the signals and license plate lights are a little more complicated.
Cool video. I have a 2018 Rav4 too, but the LE. I'm in the market to get fog lights. What do you suggest?
Hmm, I actually don't have fog lights on my car, so I don't want to recommend anything and be wrong.
Well done!
this led kit so low brightness, real is under 2000 lumen per bulb...top led kit for lens now is V65, K50 pro, C321 :)
excellent video!!
Thank you!
❤
Thank you
It looks nice
hey nice video, any led tail bulb recommendations ?
Thanks, unfortunately I don't know any tail light brands, as those are a little harder to install.
Thanks for the video. I was looking to upgrade my lights. It's been a year, How have they held up?
They worked great, I just upgraded to an even brighter pair of LED's late 2021.
@@AngeloGiles in that year there weren't any issues?
@@jonathansevert8400 Nope, no flickering, water damage, cable breaking, everything was legit perfect, I was honestly surprised too, because you know how some companies can be, but they lasted almost the whole time, one bulb went out right before I was gonna replace them, but that's because I was doing a lot of night driving.
Really awesome to hear! Thanks again. Have a safe day.
@@jonathansevert8400 You're welcome.
Hey man, I actually really enjoyed the video and I use the exact same bulbs and yes they are incredible. However, I am now noticing moisture on the inside of the headlight housing? Are you having the same issue? Should I swap over the O ring seals from the OEM bulbs?
Glad you enjoyed the video, but I didn't have any problems with moisture inside the headlight housing, maybe the seal wasn't on the whole way.
@@AngeloGiles I’ll have to check, I’m thinking of switching the seal from OEM. I love the LED’s though you were right, literally amazing.
@@MrShlee1 Yeah I love them, I just replaced them for some even brighter one's lol.
@@AngeloGiles really?! Def let me know. Or post that review I’m more than interested
@@MrShlee1 Haha, they're very expensive, the one's in this video were probably some of the best one's for the price. If you really wanna know the name, they're called GTR Uktra 2 by Headlight Revolution.
Are you sure of these LED’s will not blind the oncoming drivers?
They're bright, but I don't think they're gonna do that unless it's really dark outside lol
I don’t understand something, I’m a newbie about this. After installing the new lights, When the daylight is running is it led too?
Yeah haha. (Unless your car has a separate day time running light module.)
@@AngeloGiles I guess mine have a separate module. I just installed this product and it look amazing, but it won’t run daylight on auto. Any advice?
Hmm, yeah I don't wanna tell you anything wrong.
What wattage bulb did you use for this video? Was it a 50 watt?
That I'm unsure of.
How are they lasting? Had BeamTech for my dads car and its been 2 years
I freaking love them lol! They're still going strong and are bright as ever. No problems from what I've seen.
How can I put these in my fog lights? Like the Lexus? I have 2018 RAV4
9012 are specifically for your headlights, you'd have to look at another for your fog lights, as I don't have those on my car.
@@AngeloGiles are you still happy with the new lights or did you change to the recommended bulbs ??
@Hy-tek I ended up getting some brighter one's actually lol, I forgot the name, but I've had them for over a year now, and they're still going strong!
When You Bought These Was it Only 1 Bulb for 35.99 or did you get both of the bulbs for 35.99 just wanna be sure as seller just marks it as Bulb
No, you get two for $35.99.
Can it turn on high beam? Still work?
Yes.

@@AngeloGiles u drive with eco-mode? Or without?
Only eco when I'm at a traffic light, or on a main street that 25mph, but I use sport for when I get on the highway.
@@AngeloGiles bro ur kit led have canbus?
